Medieval Merchants

“Medieval Merchants is this young year’s
discovery for us.” ― apptalk.de

GAME SUMMARYIt is the beginning of the 14th century and a new power is rising in Northern Europe – the Hanseatic League. Based on wealth and ships instead of land and armies, the Hanseatic League is connecting merchants from London to Novgorod. But there is one city which is getting the biggest share: Lübeck, a North German harbor town. Right here many wealthy merchants are competing for power, but only one can become the Mayor of Lübeck and the mightiest Patrician in the Hanseatic League.

GAME OUTLINE
As a player you take on the role of a medieval merchant, competing for valuable trade goods throughout the Hanseatic League and investing money and resources in the city of Lübeck to become its mayor. You build ships to sail the Baltic and the North Sea and have to capture the trade goods in demand, before your competitors get the chance to do so. The extensive singleplayer mode guides you through the historic development of the Hanseatic League with
a character driven story, while the multiplayer mode is all about competition to go for the gold against up to three fellow players. Center of all player actions is the city of Lübeck – developing from a small fishing village to a mercantile metropolis.

OVERVIEW
– experience a round based trading simulation in a historic setting
– see Lübeck grow and invest in major buildings to improve the city
– discover an authentic economic system which allows cities to produce and to consume goods
– send ships to 18 historic towns and trade with 16 different goods
– play the same saved game on iPad and your Mac – with iCloud and Game Center support (multi-device)
– demonstrate your trading skills against the computer (singleplayer) or against other players (multiplayer)

MEDIA QUOTES“David: A lot of developers are entering into “freemium” models, but we decided not to. We’re going into flat rate gaming: Pay once and play as long as you want to – because we believe a gamer doesn’t want to pay for every single step in a game. He or she should enjoy the gameplay, the story and have fun while playing, not paying.” – Developer Interview on phonerpt.com

“Things are fixin’ to get Hanseatic up in here: Deutsch devs Rapidrabbit have been in touch about their forthcoming trading sim Medieval Merchants. “Do you remember the countless hours you spent playing Patrician III?”, their PR asked me. Yes ma’am I do. Trading sims are yet another “I can’t believe no one’s made one of these yet” genres on iOS. Besides the under-rated Star Traders, there aren’t any free-roaming trading sims to speak of on iOS.” – Article on pockettactics.com

Hi,
Playing Medieval Merchants. Love the game so far. Only >slight< annoyance is that it crashes on every turn. Every single turn.
Running on Yosemite.
As long as the save game is not getting corrupted, I can keep going by reopening the game after every turn, but that is somewhat tiring :).

@Carsten Dan Thanks for writing. We apologize for this problem. Unfortunately we can’t work on a fix right now, but as soon as we’ll be able, we’ll come back to working on it once again. All the best, Olga.

I’ve just purchased medieval merchants from the App shop. Unfortunately it crashes after each day. I can reopen the programme and I no data is lost but I find it very inconvenient to start the game again and again and …. again.

You can not Trade and goods in the game :( platina the ios game with a friend. To get to next turn each time one must quit the app and reopen. We send the ship to a town and it is impossible to buy goods. The slider does not fill the ship up. This game looks good. We payed money for it. Please help us enjoy the game. Thank you

Hi. Gutted to discover that the game is not available on the iPhone. I downloaded it to my iPad last night and wanted it for my phone to use during the day. Why is this not possible please?
